a frozen moment
when i know you are falling
and i am running, running to catch you
as you hit the ground
and i am waiting, waiting, waiting
to see if you are the same
or irreversibly broken
and i am wondering
could i have stopped you?
if my arms were longer
or if i were different....
and i am waiting, waiting
with the beeping and the blood
waiting for you to be you again
